587: Step forward, question, murderous intent

"Elder Li, it's not that I'm disrespecting you, nor is it that we are disrespecting the Heavenly Star Dynasty!"

"This time, my Nine Stars Sect sent a total of thirteen people to participate in the Thousand Cities Great War, with Dang Huihan, a seventh-level Dao Severing Realm expert, overseeing them!"

"Wanting to kill them is no easy task."

"This old man suspects that someone is deliberately targeting our Nine Stars Sect for revenge!"

"Even if I could let this go today, do you think our Sect Master and our Old Ancestors could?"

"Therefore, this matter must be clarified today, otherwise, our Nine Stars Sect would not mind going to war with the Heavenly Star Dynasty!"

Killing intent flashed in Dong Yiming's eyes as he adopted an extremely firm stance.

Cha Yarong also stepped forward, her Face filled with anger as she spoke: "Your Majesty the Queen, Elder Li, Elder Dong's stance is also the stance of my Su Nü Sect!"

Mou Long'an and the others did not speak; they did not possess the same confidence as Dong Yiming and Cha Yarong.

However, cold smiles hung at the corners of their mouths. If the Nine Stars Sect and Su Nü Sect truly went to war with the Heavenly Star Dynasty, they wouldn't mind joining in!

The atmosphere in the square instantly grew tense. No one had expected things to turn out this way.

Many people from various Sects had bright eyes, revealing looks of anticipation.

If the Heavenly Star Dynasty truly went to war with Sects like the Nine Stars Sect and Su Nü Sect, the situation in Heavenly Star Province could very well be completely rewritten.

Hearing the words of Dong Yiming and Cha Yarong, Zuo Chun and Li Shangwang couldn't help but frown. They clearly sensed the situation had become troublesome.

Ninth Princess Li Xueqin frowned deeply, looking at Ji Wuchang not far away. She had a bad premonition that this matter must be related to Ji Wuchang!

Around the square, people from the major forces inquired about the events that had occurred within the Secret Realm.

They were also full of curiosity, unaware of what exactly had happened during the Thousand Cities Great War.

Those who knew naturally did not conceal the truth and began to recount the events one after another.

Ji Wuchang's gaze swept across the surroundings, indifferent. Seeing that Jia Yi was about to step forward, he preemptively took a step out himself.

He understood clearly that Jia Yi could not withstand the collective anger of so many people.

He, however, had no need to worry, with Zhou Haotian present.

Taking it a step further, even if Zhou Haotian found it inconvenient to intervene, if Ji Wuchang wanted to leave, no one here could stop him.

"No need to speculate. The people from the Nine Stars Sect, Su Nü Sect, Startled Swan Gang, and others were all killed by me!"

Ji Wuchang spoke slowly, his expression as calm as still water!

As soon as his words fell, the entire place fell silent. Countless gazes turned towards Ji Wuchang, many eyes filled with disbelief.

A first-level Dao Severing Realm cultivator daring to step forward and claim to have killed members of the Nine Stars Sect, Su Nü Sect, and other Sects? It simply didn't add up.

Their gazes turned to their own junior disciples. Those disciples nodded one after another, their eyes towards Ji Wuchang filled with awe and reverence!

Even though they were no longer within the Trial Grounds of the Thousand Cities Great War, they remained extremely fearful of Ji Wuchang.

This was a truly ruthless individual, killing people as easily as slaughtering chickens and ducks, without even blinking.

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Li Xueqin's mouth. Although she had suspected as much, seeing Ji Wuchang step forward, she could only shake her head.

This fellow truly was not someone who put others at ease, acting with ruthless cruelty!

Zhou Haotian looked at Ji Wuchang, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Originally, he had taken Ji Wuchang as a disciple entirely for Yu Ling's sake, as the Zhou Family was attached to the Yu Family, and Yu Ling was the person most valued by the Yu Family's Old Ancestor.

But the Hundred Cities Great War had allowed him to truly witness Ji Wuchang's terrifying potential.

This kind of potential far surpassed even the Prodigies meticulously nurtured by the Zhou Family.

Just now, when Ji Wuchang appeared, revealing his first-level Dao Severing Realm cultivation base, Zhou Haotian was also greatly astonished.

He had originally thought that reaching the eighth level of the Six Gods Realm would have been quite good for Ji Wuchang, but the other party had once again shattered his expectations.

As for Ji Wuchang killing members of the Nine Stars Sect and Su Nü Sect, in his view, it was no big deal. Killed, so be it!

However, Zhou Haotian would not step forward for now. He wanted to see how these people would pressure Ji Wuchang.

He also wanted to see how Ji Wuchang would respond.

The more talented one was, the more they needed tempering to truly stimulate their potential. Zhou Haotian understood this very well.

Among the crowd stood three people: one was Jiang Qiye, and the other two were Rongcheng Duandao and Rongcheng Yiyun!

With Zhou Haotian's help over this period, Rongcheng Yiyun had nearly gained control over her own Glazed Ice Fire.

Her Cultivation speed was also advancing by leaps and bounds. She had now reached the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm and was soon to step into the Purple Mansion Realm!

Their gazes were fixed on Ji Wuchang, filled with emotion.

Ji Wuchang's progress was too fast. Who would have thought he had already stepped into the Dao Severing Realm.

Rongcheng Duandao glanced at Ji Wuchang, then at Rongcheng Yiyun, and couldn't help but sigh.

Rongcheng Yiyun could not marry out. Her Dao Companion could only marry into the Rongcheng Family.

Ji Wuchang was too outstanding. Such a person was destined not to be confined within the Rongcheng Family.

He glanced at Jiang Qiye beside him, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. This fellow wasn't bad either!

Back at the square, Dong Yiming, Cha Yarong, Mou Long'an, and the others all looked at Ji Wuchang, their eyes filled with endless chill.

However, suspicion flickered in the eyes of the three. With one glance, they could see that Ji Wuchang was merely at the first level of the Dao Severing Realm!

"Kid, did you really kill my Startled Swan Gang's people?"

Mou Long'an frowned and spoke slowly, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

Ji Wuchang's expression remained indifferent as he calmly stated, "Naturally. When I killed them, the people from the Zhuodao Sect were all present. They can bear witness!"

His words caused an uproar in the crowd. Then, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction where the Zhuodao Sect members stood.

Those from the Zhuodao Sect instantly felt their scalps go numb. A man, looking fearfully at Ji Wuchang, forced himself to speak: "Senior Brother Ji is not lying!"

"At that time, our Zhuodao Sect members were indeed present, witnessing everything firsthand."

"Senior Brother Ji asked them to hand over Spirit Stones to buy their lives. They were unwilling, so Senior Brother Ji killed them all!"

The Zhuodao Sect member spoke slowly. After finishing, beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, clearly under immense internal pressure.

Hearing this, the people present couldn't help but show a strange expression on their Faces. There were many hidden details in this that they hadn't known about.

Seeing Ji Wuchang step forward, Zuo Chun and Li Shangwang simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shangwang's figure blurred as he returned to stand behind Queen Zuo Chun. He was no longer worried about this matter.

Hearing the words of the Zhuodao Sect member, Mou Long'an's Face darkened like water.

He was naturally not the strongest in the Startled Swan Gang. The strongest was the Gang Leader of the Startled Swan Gang, with ninth-level Dao Severing Realm cultivation.

Mou Long'an looked at Ji Wuchang, killing intent surging in his eyes, but he did not make a move. He understood clearly that the people from the Nine Stars Sect and Su Nü Sect would not let Ji Wuchang go.
